why do ricers think its funny to type in l337?

Why do people think its funny to type like OmGz DOOD haxxoors? I know you obviously dont speak like that and are doing it as a 'joke' but really it just makes you look immature and retarded. Im wondering if there is some hidden reason behind such nonsense or if you all are just as stupid as you sound. No offense to the people on this site who dont do this...

lol its a joke for gamers. they are meant to make fun of people who actually say "omg dude hackers" everytime they die or lose or w/e. i dont think this has any correlation with ricers -.-

Leet originated within bulletin board systems in the 1980s,[1][2] where having "elite" status on a bulletin board system (BBS) allowed a user access to file folders, games, and special chat rooms. One theory is that it was developed to defeat text filters created by BBS or Internet Relay Chat system operators for message boards to discourage the discussion of forbidden topics, like cracking and hacking.[1] Creative misspellings and ASCII-art-derived words were also a way to attempt to indicate one was knowledgeable about the culture of computer users. Once the reserve of hackers, crackers, and script kiddies, leet has since entered the mainstream.[1] It is now also used to mock newbies, or newcomers, on web sites, or in gaming communities.[3] Some consider emoticons and ASCII art, like smiley faces, to be leet, while others maintain that leet consists of only symbolic word encryption. More obscure forms of leet, involving the use of symbol combinations and almost no letters or numbers, continue to be used for its original purpose of encrypted communication. It is also sometimes used as a script language. Variants of leet have been used for censorship purposes for many years; for instance "@$$" and "$#!+" are frequently seen to make a word appear censored to the untrained eye but obvious to a person familiar with leet.
